don't tell it very well.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You all right, Bob show we sit down.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Ye, Well, the story of the Gong begins in Shanghai.
Bob and I went there, you know, on our honeymoon.
It was almost ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We were very young and very much in love.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Now stay in China would have been simply perfect if
it hadn't been for a certain man who decided.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That he was in love with me. We'd met him
on the boat.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
His name was Count Renkoff.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But Count don't interrupt.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Well, the Count's attentions to me became more and more insistent,
until finally Bob decided to take matters into his own hands.
One night, without my knowing anything about it, Bob went
to see Renecroft to demand that he stopped annoying me.
The Count was staying at the same hotel we were.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes, please, just can't running off him?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
What name?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Please?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Warm?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Well? If it is not the bridegroom himself.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Come in, Wilton, coming in? All right, this is an
unexpected pleasure here here to take this chair by the window.
Thank you warm boom?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Now where did he go? Wh Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Please? Yeah you are Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
That will teach you to come the first time I
call you. Go then no, colors Warm. I do not
want to be disturbed.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But I'm visiting with mister Wilton.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Understand.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, please you may go and get out?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Uh? Where now, Wilton? And what do I owe the
pleasure of this little das I will.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Be as brief and to the point as I can,
running off. I came here to ask you to stay
away from us.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
You want me to stay away?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes. On the boat we couldn't help ourselves. We had
to endure you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Now that we're in Shanghai, we want you to leave
us alone.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I understand better than you think, my young friend. So
you are jealous?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
My own feelings have nothing to do with this. I'm
here because of my wife. You're annoying her running off,
and I want you to stay away from him. So
I am annoying a little American woman. It is most amusing.
It won't be so amusing if you persist in playing
the Don Juan great scott Man. Can't you see when
you're not wanted? My wife doesn't want your hand kissing,
(06:45):
your cheap compliments. Shanghai is full of women who'd appreciate
your expert continental love making. Why not give it to them?
You are insulting and you're annoying. I've been as patient
with you as I could possibly be. I thought an
old man like you to have more sense.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I sure not you it all.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Tomorrow I will speak to a little one myself. I
will tell you annoying my wife again, and I'll hit
you so.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Hard I'll jar your ancestors. You you threaten me, yes,
running off?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I threaten you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What do you want to do about it? I will
report this strength till your.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Heart report and be hanged. But I'm warning you for
the last time. Stay away from me and stay away
from my wife.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Is that you, Bob?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you
for hours?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Sorry, dear, I had some business to attend to. Ah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You didn't go to him?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, oh Bob, you didn't, Yes, I did. I've stood all.
I'm going to stand from that hand kissing four plusure.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I told him to leave us alone from now on?
Oh Bob, you didn't, certainly I did.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Gosh, Janie, No, you're not going to be angry at me?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Are you angry?
Speaker 3 (08:00):

Speaker 3 (08:03):

Speaker 8 (08:04):

the vulga, but he certainly is the pest of Shanghai
to me.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, I guess I settle that. I'm sure he won't
spoil our honeymoon anymore.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Spoil our honeymoon all, Bobby Huck, could anyone spoil that?

He's about you, see to that.
Speaker 1 (08:40):

you've been cooped up in this hotel room too long.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Come on, now, get dressed, we'll go places.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Oh no, Bob, I'd rather stay in, stay in nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
We realize we've been in Shanghai almost a week and

Speaker 2 (08:53):

Please, department, you will come with.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Me, please?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But but why I have here while for yours you
are charged with the murder of cat Nicholas Renika. There's
(15:29):
something I can do, I'm afraid not, missus Wilton.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
All we can do is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Wait, own bob, and that's filthy. Sellah, I can't burn him.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Please trying to control yourself, Missus Wilton, you make it
very difficult.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
As you're a lawyer, I assure you won't have done
everything possible. But we want to speak Duntley the law
mistake his course.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But Bob didn't kill any corse.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know he didn't.
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Of course he didn't, Missus Wilton. But I assure you
there's nothing further I can do.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We can only wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'm going cueenly waiting day out to day in the
hotel room.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I tell you I can't say any more.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Why would they believe Bob? He didn't kill that man?
Everyone knows he didn't.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Unfortunately, Missus Wilton, the evidence in the case indicates otherwise.
What now, Please understand me. I'm not saying that I
believe the evidence, but there it is, and it's quite
damning to say the least. Your husband was overheard quarreling
with Count Rennakoff. He threatened the man with bodily harm
unless he ceased his might. I say, unwelcome attentions to you, But.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
They didn't prove anything.
Speaker 10 (16:36):
No, perhaps not for a few hours later, Count Rennikoff
was found murdered, a knife in his back along that
life for the fingerprints of your husband.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Oh no, I assure you.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
I'm telling you the facts, mister Wilton. Your husband's fingerprints
were right there on the handle of the dagger.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I saw them there myself.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
But that's impossible.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
Quite and yet it's the very evidence that will put
of noose around his neck.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
Oh no, sorry, wait, it's best to face it now.
I know Bob will hang him as we do something.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I know you will.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Those fingerprints on the dagger, I'll tell you, it's almost
as if some power of evil had put them there,
as if some supernatural Why missus Wilton, what's the matter?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I I just relive what speak up?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Child?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But it was nothing at all.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
I say, you gave me a bad time for a
moment there your face went. So why do I thought
something goes wrong? I say, you had a pretty rocket time.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I would, haven't you?
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Okay, my China, why don't you appeal to the American
consul again?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Perhaps he can do I.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Just came from the consulate who he says, there's nothing
you can do.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Yes, I expected that. Count Running Compass, a very influential
figure in Chinese nationalistic circles you issued, you know, if
the American authority is trying to interfere, well, all sorts
of international complications.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Matterize international complications.
Speaker 1 (17:55):

me hold you close.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh Bobby, what's happened to us? We were so happy?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's that gone genie, that confounded Chinese gone.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh no, Bob, that can't be it it it just happened,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I'm half crazy with worrying Tomorrow they're going to try
me for murder.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Geene me, Bob Wilton, murderer.

over again.

to be brave, as brave as you are.

horrible weeks, knowing that you were outside waiting for me.

some women keep those busy hands well groomed, soft and
youthful looking.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
You can do it too by choosing original campound a
bomb when work and weather threatened to make your hands
look coarse and unlovely.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Begin tomorrow using a room original.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Campana bomb before you start work as protection against dirt
and grime, and be sure to use it every time
after your hands a biting water. Also to help bring
back the soft, adorable smoothness that your skin loses when
you scrub it frequently with soap and water. Original Campana
bomb acts so quickly and with such positive results that

you too will soon be calling it the before and
after lotion. Remember that smooth, protected, unchecked hands add to
your efficiency, both to your morale and please the man
who holds them.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Lack of certain basic ingredients for a while caused the
shortage of original Campana Bomb. We're happy to say that
these ingredients are again available and your dealer can now
obtain supplies of original Campana Bomb. If he does not
have it, ask him to order it for you from
his wholesaler.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
If you prefer a lighter lotion, ask for the new
Campana cream Bomb, the creamy lotion with Lanylin.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Be sure you get either original Campana Bomb in the
green and white cotton or of the new Campanah cream
Bomb in the yellow and white cotton. The first night

Speaker 1 (25:54):
China.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I suppose I should hate the place after what happened
to us there, And yet somehow I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Of course you don't.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
We'll always remember China, not for those terrible weeks, but
because of what we've been through. Is it's brot us
so very close together, as if we'd been married for
many years instead of just a few weeks.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yes, I guess that's right, isn't it. We are close
together anyway?

Speaker 4 (26:31):

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Why should I throw it away?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, because of the bad luck it brought us? Don't
tell me you've forgotten already.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
But Gong didn't bring us any bad luck, Bob, it's
a stroke of good luck.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
I'm buying it.
Speaker 10 (26:43):
How do you figure that?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Well? If we hadn't gone to soon time for the Gong,
he'd never have known who we were, he'd never have
come to.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Me with his son's confession.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, that's one way to look at it. But believe me,
I'll never strike that gong three times again. You can
bet on that.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
So there's the story of the gone folks from that
day to day's night. A babner, I have struck it
three times.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
We're not superstitious, but.
Speaker 2 (27:17):

Hi joorge. That was an interesting story, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Though? Oh?

it a third time.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yes, I'll have to admit, missus Wilton, and I'm glad
you stopped me before I struck this thing.

Speaker 3 (04:06):

Yes, please tell us.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It sounds simply fascinating.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Well, I look here, Jeane, you tell the story. I
don't tell it very well.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You all right, Bob show we sit down.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
Ye, Well, the story of the Gong begins in Shanghai.
Bob and I went there, you know, on our honeymoon.
It was almost ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We were very young and very much in love.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Now stay in China would have been simply perfect if
it hadn't been for a certain man who decided.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That he was in love with me. We'd met him
on the boat.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
His name was Count Renkoff.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But Count don't interrupt.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Well, the Count's attentions to me became more and more insistent,
until finally Bob decided to take matters into his own hands.
One night, without my knowing anything about it, Bob went
to see Renecroft to demand that he stopped annoying me.
The Count was staying at the same hotel we were.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes, please, just can't running off him?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
What name?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Please?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Warm?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Well? If it is not the bridegroom himself.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Come in, Wilton, coming in? All right, this is an
unexpected pleasure here here to take this chair by the window.
Thank you warm boom?
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Now where did he go? Wh Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Please? Yeah you are Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
That will teach you to come the first time I
call you. Go then no, colors Warm. I do not
want to be disturbed.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But I'm visiting with mister Wilton.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Understand.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, please you may go and get out?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Uh? Where now, Wilton? And what do I owe the
pleasure of this little das I will.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Be as brief and to the point as I can,
running off. I came here to ask you to stay
away from us.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
You want me to stay away?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes. On the boat we couldn't help ourselves. We had
to endure you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Now that we're in Shanghai, we want you to leave
us alone.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Do you understand?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I understand better than you think, my young friend. So
you are jealous?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
My own feelings have nothing to do with this. I'm
here because of my wife. You're annoying her running off,
and I want you to stay away from him. So
I am annoying a little American woman. It is most amusing.
It won't be so amusing if you persist in playing
the Don Juan great scott Man. Can't you see when
you're not wanted? My wife doesn't want your hand kissing,
(06:45):
your cheap compliments. Shanghai is full of women who'd appreciate
your expert continental love making. Why not give it to them?
You are insulting and you're annoying. I've been as patient
with you as I could possibly be. I thought an
old man like you to have more sense.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I sure not you it all.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Tomorrow I will speak to a little one myself. I
will tell you annoying my wife again, and I'll hit
you so.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Hard I'll jar your ancestors. You you threaten me, yes,
running off?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I threaten you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What do you want to do about it? I will
report this strength till your.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Heart report and be hanged. But I'm warning you for
the last time. Stay away from me and stay away
from my wife.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Is that you, Bob?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you
for hours?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Sorry, dear, I had some business to attend to. Ah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You didn't go to him?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, oh Bob, you didn't, Yes, I did. I've stood all.
I'm going to stand from that hand kissing four plusure.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I told him to leave us alone from now on?
Oh Bob, you didn't, certainly I did.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Gosh, Janie, No, you're not going to be angry at me?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Are you angry?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Bob?
Speaker 8 (08:01):
I've never been more pleased in all my life.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Ah, you been a big abe.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
He might have been God's gift to the women on
the vulga, but he certainly is the pest of Shanghai
to me.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Well, I guess I settle that. I'm sure he won't
spoil our honeymoon anymore.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Spoil our honeymoon all, Bobby Huck, could anyone spoil that?
Speaker 7 (08:17):

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh Bob, I'm so happy. It's It's been the most
glorious honeymoon a woman ever has mm has been great,

Speaker 9 (08:38):
He's about you, see to that.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
No matter what happened, Genie, the trouble with you is
you've been cooped up in this hotel room too long.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Come on, now, get dressed, we'll go places.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Oh no, Bob, I'd rather stay in, stay in nothing.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh, your big baby, give me that mallee.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Well, now hold on your hat.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Because I'm going to give this gung the fatal third stroke.
It is the last thing I do. Here it goes.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
You did it?
Speaker 4 (14:40):

Speaker 9 (14:42):
Well?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Oh, bob oh go see who it is? Yes? What
misedu ab yell? Do yes, I am from Shanghai.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Please, department, you will come with.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Me, please?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But but why I have here while for yours you
are charged with the murder of cat Nicholas Renika. There's
(15:29):
something I can do, I'm afraid not, missus Wilton.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
All we can do is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Wait, own bob, and that's filthy. Sellah, I can't burn him.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Please trying to control yourself, Missus Wilton, you make it
very difficult.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
As you're a lawyer, I assure you won't have done
everything possible. But we want to speak Duntley the law
mistake his course.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
But Bob didn't kill any corse.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know he didn't.
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Of course he didn't, Missus Wilton. But I assure you
there's nothing further I can do.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We can only wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'm going cueenly waiting day out to day in the
hotel room.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I tell you I can't say any more.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Why would they believe Bob? He didn't kill that man?
Everyone knows he didn't.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Unfortunately, Missus Wilton, the evidence in the case indicates otherwise.
What now, Please understand me. I'm not saying that I
believe the evidence, but there it is, and it's quite
damning to say the least. Your husband was overheard quarreling
with Count Rennakoff. He threatened the man with bodily harm
unless he ceased his might. I say, unwelcome attentions to you, But.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
They didn't prove anything.
Speaker 10 (16:36):
No, perhaps not for a few hours later, Count Rennikoff
was found murdered, a knife in his back along that
life for the fingerprints of your husband.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Oh no, I assure you.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
I'm telling you the facts, mister Wilton. Your husband's fingerprints
were right there on the handle of the dagger.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I saw them there myself.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
But that's impossible.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
Quite and yet it's the very evidence that will put
of noose around his neck.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
Oh no, sorry, wait, it's best to face it now.
I know Bob will hang him as we do something.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I know you will.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Those fingerprints on the dagger, I'll tell you, it's almost
as if some power of evil had put them there,
as if some supernatural Why missus Wilton, what's the matter?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I I just relive what speak up?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Child?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But it was nothing at all.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
I say, you gave me a bad time for a
moment there your face went. So why do I thought
something goes wrong? I say, you had a pretty rocket time.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I would, haven't you?
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Okay, my China, why don't you appeal to the American
consul again?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Perhaps he can do I.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Just came from the consulate who he says, there's nothing
you can do.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Yes, I expected that. Count Running Compass, a very influential
figure in Chinese nationalistic circles you issued, you know, if
the American authority is trying to interfere, well, all sorts
of international complications.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Matterize international complications.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What do they mean to me?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's Bob, I want.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Now you have.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
In that, please, Bob. Oh Jean, Oh Bob, what have
they done to you?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
So what?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I'm all right, really I am. Oh my darling, let
me hold you close.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh Bobby, what's happened to us? We were so happy?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's that gone genie, that confounded Chinese gone.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Oh no, Bob, that can't be it it it just happened,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I'm half crazy with worrying Tomorrow they're going to try
me for murder.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Geene me, Bob Wilton, murderer.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Bob. Please, I'm sorry there these weeks in this filthy hole,
and it's not myself, I guess, Oh, my darling.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Not a horrible not give Oh no, Bob, please don't
see that. Those days we had to get it. Let's
not forget them, glorious days, and we'll have them all
over again.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I know we will, Yes, Jean, we will. I'm going
to be brave, as brave as you are.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It's the one thing that's kept me saying all these
horrible weeks, knowing that you were outside waiting for me.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, Bob, I'm waiting for you.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I'll always wait, Darling, I'm a vision dumpound On the
second night, nice play and a little.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Flatter all time square.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Bucking our stairs in the outer lobby.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Please. Everywhere you go, women are doing extra work, subjecting
their hands to extra punishment. Yet have you noticed how
some women keep those busy hands well groomed, soft and
youthful looking.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
You can do it too by choosing original campound a
bomb when work and weather threatened to make your hands
look coarse and unlovely.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Begin tomorrow using a room original.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Campana bomb before you start work as protection against dirt
and grime, and be sure to use it every time
after your hands a biting water. Also to help bring
back the soft, adorable smoothness that your skin loses when
you scrub it frequently with soap and water. Original Campana
bomb acts so quickly and with such positive results that
(20:22):
you too will soon be calling it the before and
after lotion. Remember that smooth, protected, unchecked hands add to
your efficiency, both to your morale and please the man
who holds them.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Lack of certain basic ingredients for a while caused the
shortage of original Campana Bomb. We're happy to say that
these ingredients are again available and your dealer can now
obtain supplies of original Campana Bomb. If he does not
have it, ask him to order it for you from
his wholesaler.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
If you prefer a lighter lotion, ask for the new
Campana cream Bomb, the creamy lotion with Lanylin.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Be sure you get either original Campana Bomb in the
green and white cotton or of the new Campanah cream
Bomb in the yellow and white cotton. The first night

Of course you don't.
Speaker 8 (26:01):

a stroke of good luck.
Speaker 9 (26:42):

Speaker 10 (26:43):
How do you figure that?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Well? If we hadn't gone to soon time for the Gong,
he'd never have known who we were, he'd never have
come to.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Me with his son's confession.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, that's one way to look at it. But believe me,
I'll never strike that gong three times again. You can
bet on that.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
So there's the story of the gone folks from that
day to day's night. A babner, I have struck it

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yes, I'll have to admit, missus Wilton, and I'm glad
